"I decided to tackle the East Coast Greenway because I'm currently in my Endurance Era."

We were excited to welcome triathlete and long-distance cyclist Whitney Kim to our Durham, North Carolina HQ during her incredible journey along the East Coast Greenway!

Starting at the Canadian border and riding all the way to Key West, Whitney’s 3,000-mile adventure was inspired by record-setting thru-rider and current East Coast Greenway Alliance trustee Regina Yan.

A Northern Virginia native, Whitney has now completed this epic trek, showcasing the power of determination and the beauty of the East Coast Greenway.

"Hard to put into words everything this trip has meant to me, but filled with so much gratitude that I was able to experience it. Lil Whit never would’ve imagined doing something like this," Whitney shared on Instagram upon finishing in Key West in November. 

If you are inspired by Whitney's adventure, we encourage interested long-distance travelers to explore the 250-mile, nearly completed stretch of the East Coast Greenway between New Haven, Connecticut, and Boston
